Brief Answer:
URTI.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract infection (URTI).
In such case I usually advice a combination of anti Allergic like Levocetrizine along with Decongestant like Pseudoephedrine. For fever and body aches Paracetamol is the best. In fact there are a lot many preparations available in market which contains all of these in a single tablet. Common one are Sinarest, Wikoryl.
For blocked nose steam inhalation is the best and in severe cases Oxymetazoline nasal drops helps.
See your doctor and share my opinion, he would prescribe you these medicines and you would be fine with 3-5 days.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
